Anyway, over at the Opeth forum thread, there was a post by someone who had recorded an album designed for this sort of thing, called "Passion Immortal." Here's his pitch for it, which was actually posted on the Coheed and Cambria forums (horray for google!):
For those of you who may have passed up the link to the download, it's here: http://www.bumblelovesmusic.com/musi...onImmortal.rar
I have yet to listen to it, and the guy comes off as a bit of a pseudo-intellectual dumbass, but the people that have listened to it ("properly?") have given it great reviews, saying that it conjured up all kinds of images and emotions, even long forgotten childhood fears. This definitly smells of bullshit to me, but as I said -- I have yet to listen to it. It might be great, for all I know.
Anyway, I hope this thread goes further than most of the others that I start up here. Keep posting, people (person)! |
You just gotta try it dude, people like to talk shit, but if they haven't even attempted, how can they even really have a stance on it?
i promise it's worth the time.
As for albums that do that to me, well... obviously that one above, which i think does so better than anything i've heard, but here's some others.
Stars Of The Lid - Tired Sound Of Stars Of The Lid
This one reminds me of a warm summer morning, with the sun just peaking over the horizon. It's so soothing and so tranquil. This was my album to sleep to for a long time.
Yen Pox - New Dark Age
This one is so opressive... it sounds like a death. It sounds like being slowly suffocated and drug down into hell. If i put this one on when i'm going to bed, it just makes me feel hopeless, and kind of terrified.
